Piecing together a potential X79 build? Looking to get your fix of Corsair memory? Well, you're in luck, as the manufacturer has just announced a complete line of quad-channel kits.

The kits are available in many of Corsair's usual flavours - including cheap-and-cheerful XMS3, mid-range Vengeance and high-end Dominator - and quite a few are in stock at various UK retailers.

As you'd expect from high-performance X79 solutions, both the Vengeance and Dominator lines offer support for Intel's latest XMP 1.3 profiles, and speeds of up to 1,866MHz and 2,133MHz, respectively.

Corsair's yet to announce any 64GB (8x8GB) kits, but a range of of 8GB (4x2GB), 16GB (4x4GB) and 32GB (4x8GB) kits are readily available and are detailed in the table below. Browsing through Scan's inventory, a 16GB kit of Vengeance 1,600 memory with 9-9-9-24 latencies at 1.5V seems a solid bet at just over Ā£80.
